Title: System for relieving overburdened postal sorting equipment
Inventor: BREHM CHRISTOPHER SCOTT
IPC: B07C3/00
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: A solution is provided to the technical problem of postal sorting equipment overburdened by medium-sized batches of unsorted mail. The solution identifies and diverts such batches for processing at a separate facility before the batch is tendered to the postal service. The batches may be placed in containers that are pooled together with others for pre-sorting. The invention further provides a method and system for collecting relatively small batches of mail that, alone would not qualify for mailing at a pre-sorted postage rate and pooling them together with others for pre-sorting into a qualified batch of pre-sorted mail. The mail may be metered at a reduced program rate. The system creates a cooperative of participating mail senders working together to earn a lower effective postage rate.

Title: Improvements in design of external venous valve stents for the correction of incompetent venous valves
Inventor: LANE RODNEY JAMES
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2002-03-21
Abstract: Improvements to external stents to render incompetent venous valves competent are disclosed. The device is an inelastic bio-compatible cuff (1) that encircles the venous valve cusps (15) decreasing the internal diameter of the vein wall (11) to allow apposition of the cusps (15) and create competence.  The improvements over previous designs include the addition of calibrated known diameters to create competence for different phenotypes. The different diameters are indicated by holes (2, 3, 4) in the body (1). The buckle attachment (6) allows the body of the device to become conical or inverted to become pyramidal as appropriate. The buckle (5) is wider than prior art designs to allow the device to become elliptical at smaller diameters. The angle of the notches (10) in the device are approximately 15~ to allow better overriding at the sapheno-femoral junction which allowing for better competence of the valve.
